Regardless of moral arguments, the fact that an entire generation is crippled financially and its about to cause a huge economic crash seems like a pretty good reason to be talking about student loan forgiveness. Quoting since this is an important point.

I can sorta see where they're coming from but it's not sufficient reasoning to cancel insane amounts of debt, especially with no regard to people who actually did pay theirs off, or saved up for their kids or any number of things.
More appropriately, we need to attack the actual problems of tuition and books being outrageous and funds being horribly mismanaged. There are single donations in the 7 or even 8 digit range with the condition that it has to all be spent on a building named after the donor. That crap needs to be illegal. Congrats, now we have a Douchebag Hall, named for Senator Hugh G Douchebag, which can be seen from Outer freaking Space, but no, you still have to pay $500 a text book from the University book store. --- 53 LIII 0b110101 p16 0x35 ...

Are some of you saying that you're not responsible for your decisions at age 17? When you have near everyone in your life from your teachers, counselors, parents, friends, and other figures telling you that you need to attend 4 year university to get a degree and get a well paying job, the average 17 year old is going to do what they can to achieve that goal, including taking out predatory loans. --- Super Bowl 52 Champions!!!! http://myanimelist.net/animelist/NinjaWarrior457 ...

And if the problem is that someone took out a ridiculous amount of student loans that they can't afford to pay back because they just did what others told them to, having someone else foot the bill isn't going to teach them responsibility. They'll just go out the very next day and take out car loan or mortgage that they can't afford. --- There's no business to be taxed. ... Copied to Clipboard!

If student debt is cancelled then all those pretentious kids in high school that made fun of me for going to community college will have won. Haha. But yeah, like... if I knew I could just coast on minimum payments for years and eventually have the bulk of my student loans wiped out... I would've actually taken out student loans and gone to a better university and gotten a better degree and theoretically have a better job now. But I did what I thought was responsible and paid for community college as I went without any loans and have an associates degree and mediocre job now. >_> It feels like it isn't only rewarding those who made dumb financial decisions, but is punishing the people who tried to do the responsible thing. --- ...

Boomers: You need a college education to get a good job. You can grow up and be anything! Exactly.

Like, do you know how much it costs to get a medical degree in Germany? A couple thousand Euros, at most, total. Being able to afford a place to live (if you have to leave home) is actually a larger concern than being able to afford your education.
And that doesn't just apply to getting a medical degree, by the way, it's all higher-level education there. --- https://imgur.com/bbRWLI8 https:/i.imgur.com/S1m3po4.jpg https://imgur.com/A0BErSV https://imgur.com/7fCcfko ... Copied to Clipboard!

I will never vote for someone that supports loan forgiveness.
I did 1 year running start (community college as a Hs student), 4 more quarters at CC to get my AA, then transferred to the university that was going to be cheapest for me to graduate from. Sorry if you were stupid and made bad decisions. But your stupidity shouldnt be my problem. Forgiving debt doesnt address any of the underlying issues. College does need it be cheaper. Change the law that student loan debt can be discharged upon bankruptcy and get rid of federal student loans. There should be some innovative solutions to fill the market of the countless universities that have fleeced a generation. And I dont want to pay for someone to spend 4 years to find themselves.
